AWS Kendra is an intelligent enterprise search engine powered by machine learning. It not only provides the traditional “10-blue-links” search results, but is also able to answer natural language questions, such as “Q: where is the IT support desk? A: 1st floor”. This talk will explain how the “open domain question answering” NLP model works in AWS Kendra.
